Obtaining a Second Opinion

Surgery may be the next step in treating your spine. As spine surgery is quite complicated, a second opinion from one of the leading spine experts may reassure that you have considered all treatment options. Dr. Regan is licensed to practice in California, Georgia, Montana and Texas. He is available to offer second opinions and may provide second opinions over the telephone to patients that live in these states for fees of $175 (for the telephone consultation) and $15 (for the return of X-rays, MRI's, or CT scans to a patient).
